This mug is shaped like a pineapple (dash) with three cherries (dots) on the side. The three cherries and the pineapple spear represent the three dots and the dash for the Morse Code. With GI’s coming home from Europe and the Pacific at the end of World War II, Don The Beachcomber created the Three Dots to commemorate the Allied victory. The name of the drink comes from the Morse Code for the letter “V.”
